Chapter Polemarch

As the 15th Polemarch of the Gaithersburg-Rockville (MD) Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., I welcome you and thank you for visiting our website. The Gaithersburg-Rockville (MD) Alumni Chapter (Rock of the East) was chartered in 1989. For the past 26 years, we have consistently strived to be a beacon for brotherhood, mentoring, community service, and collaboration with all groups in the greater Gaithersburg-Rockville and surrounding areas. We are committed to our community and the ideals and purposes of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.

You can also follow us on Instagram at @grockalumninupes. If you are a brother of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., we welcome you to join us in membership or fellowship. We meet every 2nd Saturday of the month (except July and August) at 10:00 am at Montgomery College-Rockville Campus, 51 Mannakee St., Rockville, MD 20850.

Once again, thank you for visiting the Gaithersburg-Rockville (MD) Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. website.
